Why does he keep making speeches saying the same things and expecting a different result?

[Shrike47]

Speech after speech saying how great he’s doing on the virus and how the government will not do testing on people just because they want it. Can’t they hear the people screaming at them? All credibility shot and then he does it again the next day.

I hope every Republican is swept from office in November, and this time I want post-election investigations and prosecutions.

1. He's just goosing the Stock Market on a Friday 20 minutes before it closes.

It works for him. He promises everything, introduces a bunch of folks who grovel and thank him for allowing them to kiss his ring, and the Dow goes up.

3. +1, dead cat bounce, Nothing he says is going to fix structural economic issues of people lock down

7. I have been hearing that the recession will start in about 3 months...

when the real effects of the shut downs are being felt in the economy. I don't think anything is going to stop it.

2. K&R, We need unfettered testing and isolation !!! We can't get that right now so we're screwed

4. When Trump was asked if he accepted responsibility

for problems we have had in dealing with the pandemic to date, he emphatically responded no.

The follow up question should have been, " You are in charge now, Do you accept responsibility going forward?"

If the young helmsman runs the ship ashore, it is the captain's responsibility and he is held responsible, for he has caused a man to be placed a man at the wheel that was incapable of doing the job. It that is good for a ship, it is good for the ship of state.

As a Navy veteran, I know, that if a failure happens on your watch, it is your problem. I guess draft dodgers don't learn that.

5. All of tRUMP's behaviors are beneficial to him, but only in his own mind...

6. Because he's a fucking moron (and crazy to boot)?
